New Year in Philippines is one of the major festivals in the country and it is celebrated with great pomp and splendor. 2009 was indeed a blessed year for my family, it is this year that our dream retirement house was materialized. THANK YOU LORD for all the wonderful blessings and also to my better half Dirk, for a wonderful life. I really feel blessed for i was surrounded by a loving family and very supportive Mutti.
We celebrated New Year with family members and relatives. The celebrations take place from New Year’s Eve. Our family gather at night and have a meal together. This believed to signifies good luck and plenty of production in the year ahead.
Though our country experienced the impact of economic crisis and strong typhoons that affected most of our countrymen, there are still a lot of fireworks. The sky is lit with different types of fireworks and it believed to symbolize happiness and prosperity throughout the year. We didn't buy any fireworks, we just enjoyed the displayed of fireworks which cost millions in our terrace. We're just like a zipper running back and forth to view the colorful fireworks in the sky.
We also greet each other and the neighbors a happy new year. In our area before, neighbors beat pots and pans to bring happiness and good luck for the coming year.
My new year's wish, good health and safety for my family and friends. Hope our country will recover from economic crisis and Filipinos should elect competent/honest public officials and a clean and peaceful May 2010 election.
Happy New Year to all especially to my readers around the world and also to Joey, my brother-in-law in the US, All the best for twentyten.
